Video: William Shatner vs. the Gorn more than 40 years later

Kirk vs. the Gorn from the original “Star Trek” looks just as cheese-tastic now as it did more than four decades ago — especially when you have an 82-year-old William Shatner trading telegraphed blows with the alien foe. The now older duo wheeze through a fun-poking rematch of their classic TV-series clash to promote “Star Trek: The Video Game,” which casts the Kirk and Spock from the J.J. Abrams’ reboot against an updated version of the Gorn. Observe.

Shatner originally “fought” the Gorn in the 1967 “Star Trek” episode “Arena.” In true meta fashion, the promo clip features the old foes renewing their old fight while playing the new video game. Even better, they reenact moves from the original slow-motion slugfest. Boxed ears!
